Nail Trims

Why is Nail Care Important?

There are many reasons why it is important to regularly trim and care for your dog and cat's nails. Not only does improper care cause health problems for the dog, it also causes problems for you and your belongings. Proper dog nail care helps to prevent a number of potential problems, which include:

• Ingrown toenails – causing redness, swelling, and discharge having a potent odor
• Sore feet and legs
• Joint pain
• Discomfort when walking
• Scratches to you, your furniture, and floors
• Punctures to soft floor coverings such as linoleum and vinyl
• Picking and tearing of furniture fabric, carpet, and rugs

Nail trims are a walk in service and do not require an appointment.   

Special needs will be addressed on an individual basis.  If you need additional help or information, please contact us.

I recommend that your dogs nails be trimmed once a month.  If you would like nail trimming lessons, please :

Dremel for Nails

Grinding also allows you to shape the nail so there's pressure on the center, where the vein is, when to dog walks. That helps overgrown quicks to recede. And it does leave a smoother surface, which elderly clients and those with small children really appreciate.

Now, it may seem like the dog walking on the ground will smooth a cut nail off quickly. It doesn't. Most dogs don't spend a lot of time on the type of surfaces that would buff a nail down, like cement and sand. Many dogs are house pets and don't spend much time in the great outdoors at all. Grass, dirt, and carpeting won't get the job done quickly enough to prevent sharp nails from scratching an owner's skin.
